Summary
I noted at the outset that A Less Familiar Plato is not meant to exclude the many thinkers whose works this book seeks to emulate but rather to think through some of the dialogues in order to uncover several ideas that have helped my own understanding of Plato, ideas that I wanted to share with others even if they did not agree with me.
